I almost hate to admit it, but after last night, The Office moved past My Name Is Earl as my favorite show (Earl is still a close second, though).

Last night's episode was great, and Michael and Dwight are a great team. But the best part was the preview for next week, where Michael meets Jim's hot co-worker chick from Stamford and says "You look exotic. Was your dad a G.I.?"

I really enjoyed last night's episode as well, and we're looking forward to next week's too. Its going to be interesting with the consolidation of the two branches. Its going to be great by Nov. 30th, where three of our favorite shows will be on one night: Scrubs, The Office, and Earl. It probably will finish well behind the "big guns" of CSI and Grey's Anatomy in the ratings, but as long as they are on - I don't care . There aren't a lot of quality comedies on network TV anymore, and these three are some of the best.

I only caught bits and pieces of last night's episodes as I had company over. Even with limited viewing, I was laughing quite a bit. The Michael Dwight chest bump and celebrating over actually doing nothing, Kelly almost throwing Ryan through the refrigerator after hearing Scranton wasn't closing and Stanley's look when he found out Scranton was staying open.

Next week looks great. Can't wait to see Dwight's reaction to Jim being back and then his reaction when he finds out Jim is his boss. Should be great.

THE MERGER8:30pm (Eastern) 2006-11-16The Scranton branch and the Stamford branch of Dunder-Mifflin are merged, bringing old friends Jim and Pam back together after months apart. Michael and Dwight and the other employees deal with the changes.

Jim and Pam, back together again! But how will the new hotness (Karen) play into it all? And how will former Assistant Regional Manager Assistant to the Regional Manager Dwigt react to Jim being second-in-command? Find out tonight!

(And I believe this is a "super-sized" episode this evening, so set your DVRs accordingly. . .)
